STRUCTURE
The Helena Education Foundation:
Is a 501(c)3 tax exempt charity and philanthropic organization of local citizens independent of the Helena Public School District but one that is complementary to and collaborative with it.
Works to increase private support for public education above and beyond that which is constitutionally mandated and provided.
Serves as a catalyst and funding source for new and innovative ideas, programs and education methods.
Relies on donations to fund ongoing work and to provide new programs to meet the emerging needs of our students and community.
Strives for excellence in organizational practices through a community representative board
of directors, systems that adhere to governance best practices and procedures for thoughtful, responsible and efficient stewardship of the generous contributions we receive from
our community.
Is recognized as a leader and mentor among education foundations throughout the state of Montana.
